Why Physical Attraction Matters, and When It Might Not
Our emotional body's biggest desire is beauty, thus we want to be beautiful. However, this yearning is only satisfied when we see our inner beauty.
Inner beauty? Instead than focusing on our flaws, limitations, constraints, and inabilities, it's perceiving our beauty. It's accepting our limitations and being our best in each moment.
Since we can't see our inner beauty, we gaze outside. The following methods can reveal your inner beauty.
Instead of complaining about the weather, enjoy nature.
Look for love in an elderly person's eyes, not wrinkles.
Even if you don't like someone's appearance, admire their smile.
Focus on your progress rather than your shortcomings.
Consider others' strengths rather than weaknesses.
Focus on what your loved ones did for you, not what they forgot.
See a person's light.
See a child's innocence.
Assess your ability to notice beauty in individuals and your surroundings daily. This will show you how well you see your inner beauty.
The emotional body needs beauty. It improves health and balance. Depriving our bodies of nourishment would make us more emotional and unhappy. When one of the three bodies is malnourished, the other two suffer. We feel empty.
You will learn to see your inner beauty through noticing beauty in your surroundings. Here are some ideas.
Give yourself a new complement every day in the mirror.
Keep only gorgeous outfits. Give the ones you dislike to a beauty lover.
Do you seem good in the mirror when you remain home and don't take care of yourself? If you wake up depressed, ask yourself this.
Take note of everything wonderful in nature.
If a tree or vista amazes you when wandering in nature, it implies this spot is important to you and full of beauty energy. Spend some time sitting or resting here to absorb this amazing energy.
Consider your criticism. Every time you criticise someone or something, breathe deeply and say or think something lovely. Do the same with self-criticism.
Surround yourself with beauty. You don't have to buy expensive goods, only nice clothes, jewellery, furniture, or décor.
Instead of feeling ashamed or suspicious when someone calls you lovely, accept the remark.
Don't let others' opinions or beauty affect you. Everyone has preferences. Everything that glitters is wonderful to me. I wear lots of flashy items. Many years ago, I realised that everything that shines helps me appreciate my beauty and find my inner light. Some people think jewellery and flashy clothing should only be worn on special occasions, but who can say it's true for everyone?
Learn to appreciate beauty and surround yourself with it. You will change faster than you think. Because of how you act, smile, and seem, people will think you're gorgeous.
You become more lovely inside and out as you surround yourself with beauty. More lovely you are, the more you crave beauty in life. Wonderful results from this loop!
